My dear cousin Brad~ I remember when I was little (6 or 7 years old)  my mom brought me to visit, when you lived in Goshen. 

I was running to the door & I fell on the fire place in your home. I was crying & you picked me up & took me to my mom. I’ve always admired & looked up to you, I wish I would have told you sooner. I value the phone conversations we have  had recently so much & I am sad that you are gone. You spoke on the phone to me so proudly  & how much you enjoyed being a dad & grandfather & I pray that only good memories of you will be remembered. 

The day of your passing was on my birthday & I will hold that in my heart as a message from you, that although we were far away, we were close in our hearts.

I pray that God is with you and he will keep you safe from harm & that you know that you are loved by so many. 

Much love to you my cousin., until we meet again ❤️
